I find I don't have a great deal of sympathy for the whining and moaning from Brits abroad caught up in this coronavirus travel disruption.
 
Nor do I particularly support their aspirations to be repatriated.
 
Iffum you've chosen to travel overseas at a time when the outbreak was known, then you are where you are by your own design.... 
 
I'll concede a very limited amount of sympathy for those that had travelled before the outbreak was notified but not so much as would translate to support for their movement back into the UK until they are certified clean.  
 
The lessons that should have been learnt from the transcontinental transmission of Spanish flu seem to have been completely overlooked.
 
Just stay at home and cut out all that European kissing malarky.

Here's one that seems odd to me:

 

WWW.BBC.CO.UK

Immovable barriers are installed at the site of roadworks due to last all year.

 

While they're sitting pondering what to do for 45 weeks why can't they stick the bed of an old low loader and some armco sides over the culvert and control traffic with lights and a weight/width limit?
